Ingredients

The following ingredients have 19 Servings
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder (I like Hershey's Special Dark)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup prunes or dates
  • 1 ½ cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ - ½ cup dark chocolate chips (I recommend Guittard)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients - flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon - and set aside.
  • Blend the dates or prunes using a blender or food processor. Add the bananas, eggs, and vanilla and blend just until incorporated. Be sure to scrape the sides to get all the prune/date puree also.
  • Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir well, then add in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide into muffin cups (I use silicone muffin liners), and bake on 325 for about 18 minutes. Test with a toothpick and remove from oven if toothpick comes out clean.
